Sabine Dehnel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sabine Dehnel (* 1971 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein ) is a German concept and multimedia artist who combines painting with staged photography as well as abstraction with objectivity. She lives and works in Berlin .

Life

After a stay in Amsterdam in 1992/93, she began studying fine arts and philosophy at the Academy of Fine Arts at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . After graduating in 1999, she was a master class student until 2000 and then went to the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles via the MFA program .

Work and style

Sabine Dehnel combines media painting, photography and installation in her latest works. The hybridity of the works is created through a transition from one medium to the next, mostly from photography “via painting to a temporary installation and finally ends in a C-print”. Using this cross-media technique, it is not initially clear to the viewer whether it is a photograph or a painting. In the Mona series (2010), Dehnel painted the skin of her models, produced the clothing by hand and then photographed the cleavage, which was adorned with an amulet. The amulet, provided with black and white photographs of important women, puts the icons in a relationship with the unknown wearer of the jewelry. In her previous works, Dehnel only painted and photographed excerpts of her mostly female protagonists.
